Replacing thermal paste for the first time , should it look this bad when dried up ?
Buddy had his PC for about 3 years - temps started to go to 70 C idle and up to 90 while playing games .
I was cleaning my buddy’s PC and was replacing the thermal paste on the CPU , not sure if this is borderline hardware gore or the standard.
Replaced it with corsair XTM60
Is this the standard for what old thermal paste looks like ? Or was he not far away from his CPU going kaput
